I want to get full metricbeat data from elasticsearch in json through API.

I tried with - /metricbeat\*/\_search  
but it is not giving complete data.

Please suggest.

You will need to use [Scroll API | Elasticsearch Guide [7.14] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.14/scroll-api.html) for that.

ok thanks, it worked.  
1 more query- I want to retrieve cpu usage for a particular host agent.  
I tried like this in request Body -

```auto
 "query": {
        "match": {
            "hostname": "sd-**.net"
        }
    }

```

Response I received -

```auto
{
    "took": 0,
    "timed_out": false,
    "_shards": {
        "total": 1,
        "successful": 1,
        "skipped": 0,
        "failed": 0
    },
    "hits": {
        "total": {
            "value": 0,
            "relation": "eq"
        },
        "max_score": null,
        "hits": []
    }
}

```

Please suggest..

You might want to try [Query string query | Elasticsearch Guide [7.14] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-query-string-query.html) with the wildcard options.
